Transitions

Quite a lot has happened since Eric's visit. One of the more exciting things is that Sherry went swimming. She was able to get into the pool and go into the deep end by herself and tread water. She said it was the one thing that has seemed to "just come back" as it was before she became ill. She is also taking part, off and on, in a water arobics class here at the park that we live in. I think this is going to be so good for her. She will get to work on her body awareness as well as socialize with others.

There are a lot of transitions taking place as well. It looks like Sherry might be accepted into the speech/language program at the University of Oregon in the fall. This will mean she will get the cutting edge of speech therapy. She will probably work with a graduate student under the direct supervison of a well known professor in the area of neurological/speech therapy. We will have an intake interview sometime in July and then hopefully start therapy in the fall. We are very excited about the prospect.

On June 14th we wil see Jackie from the Oregon Commision of the Blind. We will talk to her about ways to become more independent, especially in the area of mobility. Sherry has been somewhat resistant to this, but now we think it is the right time.

This last weekend we got a surprize visit from Sherry's uncle Mike. It has been about a year since we last saw him and his wife, Lucky. They were so good to us while Sherry was ill and in the hospital in Portland. It was great to see them again.

enough for now, not even going to spell check :)

I love my wife....tomorrow we move forward,.
